Real Madrid defender Nacho was called up to the Spain squad for the Nations League finals on Monday after an injury to David Garcia.
Garcia was injured in Osasuna’s 2-1 victory over Girona on Sunday.
After receiving medical reports from Osasuna, coach Luis de la Fuente gave the nod to the 33-year-old Nacho to link up with the squad.
Spain will play Italy on June 15, a day after the opening Nations League semi-final between the Netherlands and Croatia.
The winners of each semi will face off in the final in Rotterdam on June 18.
